Newly cut grass !!!!!!!!!!

[Olivia16]

My neighbours put newly cut grass into my field and my horse ate it !!!!
What do I do i'm panicking!!!! Experienced horsey people have told me he'll be okay but I've always been told not to let them touch newly cut grass !!!!

What do I do ???

Should be ok if it was just the one lot. Just keep a close eye for any colicky signs in the next 24hrs and make sure they don't do it again.

1. Go & kill the neighbours
2. Call vet for medical info that is up to date - a vet on call would rather give advice NOW than be called out later in pitch dark.
3. Kill neighbours

Hope horse is ok, some can take it, others cannot

This is how my first pony had his first lami attack even though my mum found him still eating it and called the vet at once he foundered the next day.
Seek advice from a vet at once.

And then as fuzzy furry says go and kill the neighbours

Seek advice from a vet at once.

Absolutely this - they will happily talk to you on the phone about what to look for and what to do next.

Is it absolutely certain that when horses eat it they do get colic???
I will ring the vet

It's laminitis that's the big worry they could colic as well but lami is the main worry.
